Abstract

En 中文

Permanent pacing in neonates presents substantial challenge due to extremely small body size, anatomic variability and limited device options; even the smallest conventional pacemakers remain disproportionally large for newborns < 3 kg. To overcome these limitations, a novel pediatric-sized implantable pulse generator, derived from a modified leadless pacemaker subassembly and connected to bipolar epicardial leads, has been introduced. Evidence for its clinical use in this population is still limited. We here propose the first report from its international use.
